Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doc-
tor or therapist experienced in seating and positioning be
consulted to determine if a Fusion cushion is appropriate.
Cushions should only be installed by an authorized Sunrise
Medical supplier.
GENERAL WARNINGS
DO NOT install this equipment without first reading
and understanding this manual. If you are unable to
understand the Warnings, Cautions, and Instructions,
contact a qualified clinician or supplier - otherwise
injury or damage may occur.
Hook and Loop velcro should not come into prolonged
contact with moisture as this may degrade the adhesive
and lead to a failure of the velcro.
Installing a cushion on a wheelchair may affect the cen-
ter of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the
wheelchair to tip backwards, potentially resulting in
injury. Always assess for the potential need for antitip-
pers or amputee axle adapter brackets to be added to
the wheelchair to help increase stability.
Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried
for a few hours at a time while a clinician inspects your
skin to ensure that red pressure spots are not develop-
ing. You should regularly check for skin redness. The
clinical indicator for tissue breakdown is skin redness. If
your skin develops redness, discontinue the use of the
cushion immediately and see your doctor or therapist.
The Fusion cushion is designed to help reduce pressure. However,
no cushion can completely eliminate sitting pressure or prevent pres-
sure sores. The Fusion cushion is not a substitute for good skin care
including; proper diet, cleanliness, and regular pressure reliefs.

WARNING
Do not leave the fluid cushion outside overnight at tem-
peratures below 40° F (5° C). Allow the cushion to
warm to room temperature before using. Sitting on
extremely cold or hot surfaces can cause skin damage.
CAUTION– AVOID SHARP OBJECTS OR EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT OR
OPEN FLAME.
PROPER Fluid Level: The amount of fluid contained in
the insert is determined by the clinician during a seat-
ing evaluation. This should not be adjusted without a
clinician directive as it can alter the pressure relieving
properties and lead to injury or damage.
OBSTRUCTIONS: DO NOT place any obstructions
between the user and the cushion because it will
reduce product effectiveness.
CUSHION AND COVER ORIENTATION: Product must
be used with the fluid insert facing up. If the cover is not
used correctly it may reduce or eliminate the cushion's
benefits and could increase risk to the skin and soft tissue.
ROHO® DRY FLOATATION® Pad: refer to applicable
warnings in the ROHO® DRY FLOATATION® Pad
